Leveraging cloud-native proprietary technology and applying machine learning and advanced analytical capabilities, CORE provides essential solutions to public and private sector organizations through intuitive, easy-to-use analytical interfaces. With extensive data assets consisting of public record, proprietary, and publicly-available data, our differentiated information and innovative platform and solutions deliver identity intelligence – entities, relationships, affiliations, interactions, and events. Our solutions are used today to enable frictionless commerce, enhance safety, and mitigate fraud and the related financial losses across the markets we serve.
While our platform powers a vast array of solutions for our customers, we presently market our solutions primarily through two brands, IDI™ and FOREWARN®. IDI is a leading-edge, analytics and information solutions provider delivering actionable intelligence to an expansive and diverse set of industries in support of use cases such as the verification and authentication of consumer identities, due diligence, prevention of fraud and abuse, legislative compliance, and debt recovery. idiCORE™ is IDI's flagship product. idiCORE is a next-generation, investigative solution used to address a variety of organizational challenges, including, but not limited to, due diligence, risk mitigation, identity authentication, and regulatory compliance, by financial services companies, insurance companies, healthcare companies, law enforcement and government, identity verification platforms, collections, law firms, retail, telecommunication companies, corporate security, and investigative firms. FOREWARN is an app-based solution currently tailored for the real estate industry, providing instant knowledge prior to face-to-face engagement with a consumer, helping professionals identify and mitigate risk. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, IDI had 10,022 and 8,926 billable customers, respectively, and FOREWARN had 390,018 and 303,418 users, respectively. We define a billable customer of IDI as a single entity that generated revenue during the last three months of the period. Billable customers are typically corporate organizations. In most cases, corporate organizations will have multiple users and/or departments purchasing our solutions, however, the Company counts the entire organization as a discrete customer. We define a user of FOREWARN as a unique person that has a subscription to use the FOREWARN service as of the last day of the period. A unique person can only have one user account.
We generate substantially all of our revenue from licensing our solutions. Customers access our solutions through a hosted environment using an online interface, batch processing, API and custom integrations. We recognize revenue from licensing fees (a) on a transactional basis determined by the customer’s usage, (b) via a monthly fee or (c) from a combination of both. Revenue pursuant to pricing contracts containing a monthly fee is recognized ratably over the contract period. Pricing contracts are generally annual contracts or longer, with auto renewal. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 76% and 77% of total revenue was attributable to customers with pricing contracts, respectively, versus 24% and 23% attributable to transactional customers, respectively.

We endeavor to understand our customers’ needs at the moment of first engagement. We continuously engage with our customers and evaluate their usage of our solutions throughout their life cycle, to maximize utilization of our solutions and, hence, their productivity. Our go-to-market strategy leverages (a) an inside sales team that cultivates relationships, and ultimately closes business, with their end-user markets, (b) a strategic sales team that provides a more personal, face-to-face approach for major accounts within certain industries, and (c) distributors, resellers, and strategic partners that have a significant foothold in many of the industries that we have not historically served, as well as to further penetrate those industries that we do serve. We employ a “land and expand” approach. Our sales model generally begins with a trial followed by an initial purchase on a transactional basis or minimum-committed monthly spend. As organizations derive benefits from our solutions, we are able to expand within organizations as additional use cases are presented across departments, divisions, and geographic locations, and customers become increasingly reliant on our solutions in their daily workflow.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had revenue of $90.3 million and $75.2 million, net income of $13.2 million and $7.0 million, adjusted EBITDA of $31.0 million and $23.6 million, and adjusted net income of $18.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), excluding interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, and write-off of long-lived assets. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure based on US GAAP, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of share-based compensation capitalized in intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, litigation costs, and write-off of long-lived assets, and to include tax effect of adjustments. Refer to the tables included in “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Our Competition
Competition in the data and analytics sector centers on innovation, product stability, pricing, and customer service. The market for our products and services is highly competitive and is subject to constant change. We compete on the basis of innovative technology, proprietary data, differentiated solutions, analytical capabilities, integration with our customers’ technology, customer relationships, service stability, and price. We believe we are well-positioned to effectively compete on all fronts.
Our competitors vary widely in size and nature of the products and services they offer. There are a large number of competitors who offer products and services in specialized areas, such as fraud prevention, risk management, and decisioning solutions. We believe our innovative technology, analytical capabilities, extensive longitudinal identity graph, and the intelligent design of our cloud-native infrastructure will allow us to differentiate ourselves from our competition in flexibility, capability, service, and price.
Certain of our competitors operate on legacy, on-premises, or privately managed data center and hybrid infrastructures that were not originally designed to support modern cloud-native deployment models, scalable data processing, or embedded artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. In contrast, our platform was architected from inception as a cloud-native system with artificial intelligence and machine learning integrated into core data processing and analytical workflows. As a result, we believe we are better positioned to efficiently incorporate ongoing advances in artificial intelligence and related technologies, enhance product functionality, and deliver scalable, data-driven solutions to our customers over time.
Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, sales, and marketing resources, better name recognition, and a larger customer base. Even if we introduce advanced products that meet evolving customer requirements in a timely manner, there can be no assurance that our new products will gain market acceptance.
Certain companies in the data and analytics sector have expanded their product lines or technologies in recent years as a result of increased investment and acquisitions. We anticipate increased competition from data and analytics suppliers, which could result in significant price competition, reduced profit margins or loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future with current or new competitors.
5
Concentration of Customers
We have established relationships with a number of customers, many of whom could unilaterally terminate their relationship with us or materially reduce the amount of business they conduct with us at any time. Market competition, customer requirements, customer financial condition, and customer consolidation through mergers or acquisitions also could adversely affect our ability to continue or expand these relationships. There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain or renew existing agreements, maintain relationships with any of our customers on acceptable terms or at all, or collect amounts owed to us from insolvent customers. The loss of one or more of our major customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.
One individual customer accounted for approximately 10% of our accounts receivable, net, as of December 31, 2025. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable, net, as of December 31, 2024.
Concentration of Suppliers
Our products and services depend extensively upon continued access to and receipt of data from external sources, including data received from the major credit bureaus, including our largest data supplier. Our other data suppliers include strategic partners, as well as various government and public record databases. Our largest data supplier, with whom we have expanded our relationship while securing what we believe to be favorable business terms over the years, accounted for approximately 45% of our total data acquisition costs both for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Effective May 1, 2025, we entered into an amendment with our largest data supplier, extending the term of the agreement through April 30, 2031. We may elect to extend the term for an additional twelve months upon written notice to this supplier at least 30 days prior to the end of the amended term. During the term of the agreement, either party has the right to terminate the agreement: (i) in the event of the other party’s failure to cure a material breach, and (ii) in the event of the other party’s insolvency. In addition, this supplier may terminate this agreement by providing not less than 12 months’ advance written notice to us and we may terminate this agreement by providing not less than 24 months’ advance written notice to this supplier. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining payment obligations through the end of the amended and renewed term is $23.2 million. If we are unable to maintain our relationship with our largest data supplier, our ability to provide products and services could be negatively impacted, as we would need to secure comparable data on similar terms, which would require significant time, expense, and resources, and may in the short-term adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations and, if we are unable to establish a similar relationship with other data suppliers over time, could have a long-term material impact on our business and financial condition.
Our Intellectual Property
We avail ourself of applicable trade secret and unfair competition laws to protect our proprietary technology, trademark law to protect our trademarks and domain names, and copyright laws to protect our content relating to, among other things, websites and marketing materials. Our intellectual property rights are embodied in confidential and proprietary technology and data, trademarked brands relating to our business units, products, services, and solutions, original content on our materials such as websites and marketing materials, and domain names. With respect to our trademarks, we maintain an extensive portfolio of perpetual common law and federally-registered trademark rights across several brands. While we may hold one or more patents, we do not rely primarily on patents to protect our intellectually property. Through contractual arrangements, robust employee training programs, and other information safeguards, we protect our key proprietary information and databases as trade secrets.
We use data acquired through licensing rights from approximately 30 providers. The loss of any one of these providers could have an immediate near-term impact on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity. Also see “Concentration of Suppliers” above.
6
Regulatory Matters
Our business is subject to various federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations, including, without limitation, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 6801- 6809) (the “GLBA”), the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (18 U.S.C. §§ 2721- 2725) (the “DPPA”) and the Federal Trade Commission Act (the “FTC Act”). Additional requirements may also apply to us when providing services to U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies, including, without limitation, various Federal Acquisition Regulation and associated supplemental contract clauses. A change in any one of a number of the laws, rules, or regulations applicable to our business or the enactment of new or amended legislation or industry regulations pertaining to consumer or private sector privacy issues could have a material adverse impact on information services. Legislation or industry regulations regarding consumer privacy issues could place restrictions upon the collection, sharing, and use of information that is currently legally available, which could materially increase our cost of collecting and maintaining data. These types of legislation or industry regulations could also prohibit us from collecting or disseminating certain types of data, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our customers’ requirements and our profitability and cash flow targets.
Seasonality
Our results are subject to seasonal fluctuation. Historically, certain products experience seasonal pressure during the fourth quarter.
Management Team
Our management team has a track record of strong performance and significant expertise in the markets we serve, supported by decades of collective experience across the data, analytics, and risk management sectors. Members of our leadership team have built and scaled leading companies in our industry, creating significant shareholder value, and have developed deep institutional knowledge that is embedded within our proprietary data assets, technology platform, and regulated workflows. We continue to attract and retain experienced management talent, reflecting our focus on operational excellence and long-term value creation.
Our team possesses extensive domain expertise across industries we serve and has overseen the expansion of our proprietary technology platform and identity graph while managing ongoing strategic initiatives, including the transition from a development-focused organization to a sales-driven enterprise. As a result of this experience, execution capability, and institutional knowledge, we believe we are well positioned to continue driving organic growth and maintaining our competitive position.
Our Employees
We employ a total of 250 employees, all full-time, as of December 31, 2025. None of our employees are represented by a labor organization, and none are party to any collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good. Competition in the recruiting of personnel in the data and analytics sector is intense. We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to hire, motivate, and retain qualified sales and marketing, executive and administrative, and technical personnel. To date, we have not experienced significant difficulties in attracting or retaining qualified employees.
